- Monopoly Game, 1954-1960 - Buy property. Build hotels. Charge rent. Make money. Monopoly derived from The Landlord's Game created in 1904 -- a game with the objective to point out the <em>inequities</em> of wealth. Monopoly's fun and popularity, however, came from amassing piles of play money and winning it all. Parker Brothers secured the game's rights in 1935 and it became the most popular board game in history.
